Question

2 numbers have an absolute value of 16. Which of the two numbers is greater then 13

Answer 1

Absolute value is the distance away from 0, no matter if the number is negative or positive

Example: 2 numbers with the absolute value of 3

|3| and |-3| both have the absolute value of 3. 

So for your question, with an absolute value for 16, and you're looking for a number greater than 13, the answer would be:

16 or |16| 

Hope this helps :)
